This is an interesting and instructive game. The players seat themselves so as to form a ring. An umpire and a score-keeper are appointed, and each player in turn rises and announces the name of a well-known book. The one who first calls out the name of the author of the book scores a point; the one who has the largest score when the game ceases is the victor, and may be given a prize. This game may be varied by the naming of well-known authors, leaving the titles of books, by these authors, to be supplied. And it may be played in yet another way. Give each player a pencil and paper, and instead of calling aloud the title of a book, as each author is announced, ask the players to write on a slip of paper the name of the author, the title of a book by that author, and the name of a character in the book. Thus:

1. Oliver Goldsmith—"She Stoops to Conquer," Miss Hardcastle.
2. Harriet Beecher Stowe—"Uncle Tom's Cabin," Miss Ophelia.
3. William Shakespeare—"Romeo and Juliet," Tybalt.

If the game be played in this way the scores will probably be close.
